Is it more difficult for liberal arts students to apply to Ivy League schools than for science students? In addition to standardization, what else can we rely on for liberal arts climbing?
This liberal arts girl who was madly recruited by an Ivy League school gave her own answer:

Liberal arts girl Vernita
Continuously won more than a dozen offers from Stanford University, Columbia University, University of Pennsylvania, Williams College, the top-ranked liberal arts college , and other top schools!

• I only took the SAT once and got a score of 1530;
• Passed 8 AP exams, all with perfect scores of 5 points;
• The research results are published in The Concord Review .

in addition to having high test scores, Vernita also perfectly integrated her passion for writing into her application by participating in writing projects, demonstrating her passion for writing to the admissions officers.
In grade 11, she used her spare time to conduct an independent historical research on France, and the research results were published in The Concord Review.
